Need some help guys on blood
by alanv inrecently on the topix website we have talking about blood transfusions.. it has been asserted by one ex witness that jws are now allowed to store their blood providing it is for a limited time.
for example the blood could be taken from the patient sent to the lab to have it cleaned or whatever, and then returned to the patient.
the november 2006 kingdom ministry was cited to back this up as well as a watchtower from 2000. my question is, are jws now allowed to store their blood for a current limited time?.

Thanks so much everyone. As usual though the society change something and most of the sheep have no idea whatsoever about it. I know if I asked my JW son he would not have a clue about current thinking on blood.

Thanks refriedtruth.
I did not know this. I always though if blood actually was taken away from the body to a different area, that it was a no no for JWs.
I bet very few witnesses know this. The artticles certainly seem to agree with you. I am trying to find a current JW that knows about it.

Certainly they cannot store it for weeks or months before say an operation, but what about a few hours?

Since I left 15 years ago, I had not been called on, even though I did not formally ask to be put on the do not call list. This year someone did call as they new my JWQ son and wanted to meet his dad. We had a good chat, but very soon she was trying to get away when she realized there was no chance of a conversion.

I too used to love the brothers and sisters, that is until I started questioning some of the views of the governing body. Once I started doing that all love towards me was immediately stopped and a very cold feeling existed between me and my so called friends. Because I could no longer agree with what I had previously been taught my close JW friends dropped me like a brick.
The love shown by JWs, is totally conditional on you obeying everything the governing body say.

United Nations mentioned in Watchtower publications
by Magi inhi everyone, i have some questions for anyone that can answer.
i've been doing some research in the whole united nations scandal with the watchtower organization.
and i am wondering what the society's view on the un is as of late.

If for no other reason it would help in reaching into new territories if the U N were on board. Exactly the reason many people suck up to people or nations in power. It's all about how they can use that friendship to further their own agenda.

by sizemik inthey teach them well in wt land .
walter meaty: fraudster butcher in 3.3million tax con.
gary turner convinced people he ran a meat wholesalers famous for its sausage rolls but the firm had been bust for 14 years.. his walter mitty-type fantasy was in fact a ruse to rip off the taxpayer by continuing to claim vast sums of vat from hmrc on the basis he was still in charge of a going concern.. and the cash he gained funded a luxury lifestyle.. when turners detached house was raided, revenue officers found five luxury cars with personalised number plates and a watch collection worth more than 35,000, including two rolexes valued at 17,420.. a 4,600 juke box and three guitars costing 2,000 were also discovered.. it also emerged he spent 7,000 on family holidays to spain and used more taxpayer money to build a new house with a top of the range kitchen and bathroom as well as two other properties.. turner, 47 a jehovahs witness, was declaring huge profits from his non-existent business and claiming back tens of thousands of pounds every year.. .

I expect he learnt his tax evasion from his mother organisation. They managed to get out of paying tax on their literature some time ago.

Crisis of Conscience Chapter 6: Double Standards
by Celestial inthe pdf of crisis of conscience is available online.
i jumped to chapter 6, double standards and examined the situation regarding jehovah's witnesses position in malawi and the mandatory requirement to buy a malawi congress party (mcp) card.
i may have missed something, but it should be glaringly obvious what took place here.

As regards Malawi, the society over the years showed how joining any political party was a no no. Individuals have been disfellowshipped in the past for doung just that. So the Malawian witnesses new the societies view. They did not need to be told what to do.
It is like a child being taught right from wrong. The child does not need to check with the parent on every right or wrong decision they have to make in the future.
What do you think would have happened to witnesses who actually bought a membershiop card? Would they be viewed as witnesses in good standing, because their consciences allowed them to buy the card?
No they would not. Witnesses all over the world have to agree to follow the societies unique teachings and doctrines. If they do not, they can no longer call themselves JWs. The Malawi witnesses new the governing bodies view on this and they went along with it.
If the society changed their stance on this, then so would witnesses around the world. They all follow the lead of the governing body, whether they fully agree with it or not.

Newspaper article in Sydney Sunday paper about ex-jw poisoning elder
by etna init was in the sunday telegragh on page 18 "a murder attempt in chuch".
someone that was disfellowshiped has been trying to poison an elder and his family in adelaide.
i certainly don't agree with this at all, but i do understand this man doing something like this.

Certainly anyone writing should ensure they do not condone the man for trying to poison the elder and his family. Two wrongs do not make a right.
There are many people in the world that have suffered at the hands of others, that does not mean they should take the law into their own hands.
There are other legal ways that this person can use to expose what has happened to them.
